Pastry chef Justin Reynolds of the Back Bay’s Bistro du Midi adds a seasonal element (winter citrus) to a timeless classic (the iconic chocolate chip cookie) to create a festive, crowd-pleasing addition to any assembly of sweets. Reynolds uses an array of chips (milk, white and yuzu chocolate) and adds a little sprinkle of a salt before baking to enhance the rich flavors and get that whole salty/sweet balance.
